Here are my latest cuddle sacks with matching hats. The nurses at my local hospital said they really like my cuddle sacks and will take all I can make. So I am on the look out for new patterns and color combinations.

Well, I started crocheting a baby blanket but loss interest very quickly. I had skin cancer removed from my arm on the 10th and with 15 stitches, my arm was very sore, so it has been hard to crochet. Most of the pain is gone now but find it its easier to crochet cuddle sacks as they are smaller than blankets. So here are my lastest two sacks with matching hats. The blue one with front post stitches is the new Lions Brand Pound of Love in Bluebell. The yellow I crocheted using my Sweet Baby cuddle sack pattern in Honey Bee also new from Pound of Love yarn. Next week I have more skin cancer removed from my neck, hopefully it won't keep me from crocheting.

Here is another cuddle sack with matching hat. I used the twin stitch and Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly yarn. The color is called Cool Baby. Enough cuddle sacks for now, I will start on a blanket tomorrow.

I have made a correction to the hat pattern. On Round 3, it should read: Chain 2 , dc in same st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next st,* repeat from * around. Sl st in 1st dc (48 sts)
Sorry for any inconvenience.

I finished this baby blanket today. It is from Heather at Just Crochet. As the name says, it was very quick and easy to crochet. I used Red Heart Sweet Baby. The color is called Whisper. I changed the border somewhat as I didn't want to crochet the extra 3 row. Kept it quick and easy!
